Comment on Mark McGwire

I normally don't care about this stuff, just tune it out, but I have a quick opinion I'd like to share:

I saw video on ESPN of Albert Pujols about this, saying "everybody makes mistakes"

Let me clarify - Mark McGwire taking steroids for 10 years was not a mistake. It was an intentional and conscious decision. You can't mistakenly take illegal drugs for 10 years. Not possible.

And to all those people who say "well, it wasn't banned in baseball," guess what? IT WAS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES. MLB shouldn't have to ban drugs that are already illegal, it's redundant.

That being said. I don't care about Mark McGwire and I'm not surprised by his revelations, especially after he testified in front of Congress and repeatedly insisted that he "wasn't going to talk about the past."
